Every girl is born with extraordinary potential, but too many face limits that are placed on their futures before they have the chance to choose them.

Helping families build knowledge, skills and resources to support themselves.
HOW IT WORKS
Your £30 a month means your sponsored girl and her friends will be supported with the essentials to achieve their dreams: clean water, nutritious food, healthcare and education.
Through child protection training and community-based programs, you’ll help remove the barriers that hold a girl back and enable her to realise her full potential.
Your sponsorship shows a girl that someone, somewhere, believes in her and her future - helping them feel valued, supported and hopeful about what's possible.
Champion your sponsored girl through letters, photos and updates. Connections like these can last a lifetime.
Child Sponsorship at World Vision connects you with a child while supporting long-term, community-led programmes that help children, families and communities thrive.
Your monthly donation is pooled with others to fund initiatives like clean water, education, healthcare and child protection - designed in partnership with local communities to create lasting change.
As a sponsor, you’ll receive updates about your child via the World Vision My Sponsorship App and can build a meaningful connection through messages and shared experiences.
Sponsoring a chid starts from just £30 a month, that’s less than £1 a day. A small donation that creates a big impact because our sponsorship model is community-led, so your support extends beyond one child and will help transform a whole community.
What does your money achieve?
• Clean water systems are built and maintained.
• Schools are equipped and teachers trained.
• Clinics are stocked and health workers supported.
• Families learn new skills to earn a stable income.
By strengthening the whole community, children are more likely to thrive – and stay thriving – even after sponsorship ends. It’s a smart, sustainable way to help.
The donation you give doesn't go directly to your sponsored child or family.
For maximum impact and efficiency, your monthly donations are combined with those of other sponsors to ensure consistent support for your sponsored child and their community, as well as other sponsorship communities around the world. This means your donations go much further.
If your circumstances change and you need to stop sponsoring a child, you can do so at any time. If you are thinking about cancelling your sponsorship, please get in touch, as there may be other ways in which you can continue your support. The child you sponsor will continue to benefit from the changes in their community and we will do our best to find a new sponsor for them.
When you sponsor a girl, you'll receive letters, photos and regular updates. You'll see how your support brings food, clean water, education and safety to them and their community.
